Replacement sunspider

[mick]

Hi All,

I'm happy ..my local bug dealer gave me this to replace the little one that died in 2 days after buying it. Man, this thing is vicious. And very active compared to T's . It burrows like theres no tomorrow. Increadible arachnid. It never stops eating

Very nice, and glad to hear your dealer was good enough to give a replacement.

 

[mick]

Yes , I was happy that he was nice enough to replace without me even asking him to. Man this is a cool bug

I hear these guys don't last than a few months. Is this true?

 

[Scorpiove]

They live up to a year after birth, some two years depending on species..... But if you get them as adults then yes they will die anywhwere from a couple days to a couple months time.

hay mick what kind of crickets are you feeding it? i fed mine a few black crickets but its not eatting them anymore, could you post a pic of whats left of a "meal" so i can see if its similar to what mine left after eating.


how big is she?

 

[mick]

Well ,she chews up crics really badly and then rolls the leftovers up in sand and kind of burries them..I'll try to get you some pics.. Have you heard yours make noise yet????????

yeah i have she's the same size as yours you REALLY need to take out that peice of wood since it could crush her if she dug under it AND she can easly dig out more than enough to make that happen.

The sound she makes it like a very brief cherrp, rather cute to i mite add

since you've only had her a few days she probably hasn't started digging properly when she does exspect her to dissapear for a while until she needs to feed again.
